I had met this lady a few weeks ago who did numerology sessions on the side of her regular job. She had offered me a session at the time and I had refused. I ended up finding her number a few weeks later and had arranged to book a session.

I had been seeing all these numbers repeating, and thought, why not have some fun, right? I don’t really believe in that kinda stuff, but it would be interesting to see what values people ascribe to things as random as numbers, and see what I think about it. An hour session was gonna come out to upwards of 200+ dollars 💀 .

I apologised saying I should’ve asked for a quote beforehand, but she tries to call me (I didn’t pick up) and she then texts me that “people usually call me when they’re in need and I recommend the session”, but it’s like…of course you would, you’re making 200+ dollars off of me lol.

No disrespect to her, but I hate that everyday interactions are warped by profit 😓. I get everyone has to eat, but damn, wtf?

    What does lemmygradians think of traditional Chinese medicine?

    I’m sure some of it actually works, and some of it might not really work, but have a positive benefit due to the placebo effect or whatever.

    Stuff doesn’t have to be really true to be helpful - addiction isn’t a disease, but “addiction as a disease” is a model that’s helped a lot of people.

    I don’t really have a dog in the fight as long as unproved medicine/treatment isn’t used in place of real, proven medicine. If it’s just a supplemental thing I don’t see any harm in it.
